| Woodend Children's Park Newsletter |
| June 08 |
Our community is working together to build a park of inspiration and discovery.
A meeting place for young and old, locals and visitors. A park to explore, to enjoy, to play. |

| Park site stretches from Kindergarten to Five Mile Creek |
 |
|
The Woodend Children’s Park took a major leap forward in March when Macedon Ranges Council agreed to allocate vacant land next to the Woodend Kindergarten for the initiative. Community working bees have already begun transforming this large site which features easy access to the town centre, primary schools and the kindergarten. |
